Do You Want To See The Inner Workings Of A Weird 2WD Military Motorcycle? Of Course You Do!

Have you ever ridden a 2WD motorcycle before? If you're used to driving standard, RWD motorcycles, it's definitely an interesting time and feeling. Do you end up feeling a little more invincible than you usually do when you mount up? I mean, I can't speak for anyone but myself, but as for me? Yes, maybe just a little. You're still very aware of your mortality, in the way that only riding any motorcycle on public roads can make you; but because your machine feels a little more sturdy and unstoppable, a little bit of that attitude is bound to rub off on you.

I've never ridden a bike like this particular AWD machine before, though; the one I rode, an UBCO 2x2, was much smaller and lower to the ground. That fact matters quite a bit for those of us with short inseams, but isn't exactly ideal for tasks that need greater ground clearance. Everything's a compromise, I guess?
